Dundean Studios
Dundean Studios is a specialty decorative arts working studio
established in 1986. This year we are celebrating our 20th Anniversity.
The school, showroom and studio has been in its present location
in Northern New Jersey since 1998.
Expert instruction is offered at the beginner, intermediate, advanced
and professional levels in the decorative arts, faux finish and
specialty-painting field.
We have over 28 different workshops in the decorative finishing
field. More than any other school in the country (that we are aware
of).
Our training pre-dates the franchise schools so we have never been
stuck in the mindset that week-long classes with 25 finishes are
the only way to teach decorative finishing workshops. The scope
of our training is international and our main ideal is education,
not selling product. In our Faux
Design Series, we do not brag about how many boards you will
walk away with, only that you will have a fuller understanding of
the materials, processes and goals of what decorative finishing
is all about. All of the finishes learned in this series are repeatable,
much in demand and are beyond the capabilities of the average "faux
painter" and homeowner.
After learning the basic finishes that can make a career, you can
expand your portfolio with Textures
and Metallics I and Textures
and Metallic II. For these classes, It is assumed that the student
is proficient with glazes and has some experiance with textures.
Now you are ready to really run with a large number of finishes
that are high-end and cutting edge. These classes are constantly
changing to meet market needs and we are on top of current design
trends here in the Greater New York Area.
Classes are also offered in a in large variety of disciplines such
as stencilling, trompe l'oeil, mural painting, furniture painting,
etc. See Class Descriptions for
more information.
The studio is also rapidly becoming the premier site for instruction
in application of decorative plasters, both natural lime-based and
synthetic.
This Web site includes an outline of the core courses offered.
